(Did not stay at the hotel, just went to restaurant) Not a great experience. Came on a Sunday morning with a reservation of 14 people. No one else in the restaurant. You pay at the cashier and they ask for tip before you get your food/see their customer service. Some of the meals took over a half hour to get, if you even got your food. There doesn't seem to be an actual kitchen more just heating food up. The bacon was horrible, looked like microwavable bacon. I had the waffles and the fruit was still half frozen and wasn't real whipping cream. The waffles were not fresh and were crispy. Even though you pay before meaning they have a record of what we ordered they had to come back twice to ask who's missing their meals - it was half the table. They did apologize and offer refunds and that was still a hassle. When we left all other restaurants in the village were packed and this was still empty. read more

Pangea Pod Hotel - Hotels Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

We had reservations here (called the living room at Pangea) one night of our stay. I'm not sure why it was needed. No one greeted us when we arrived, its counter service but we had to ask for a menu and were given half of one. No one there was eating, there were several working on laptops and one group playing a very loud drinking game. We left to eat elsewhere. read more

Loved the experience here! The staff were very sweet and kind. We didn't have any big expectations going in, but enjoyed the vibe that was presented from the street outside all the way to the table. Whatever expectations we had were exceeded with the food though Solid! read more

Pangea Pod Hotel - Avo Benedict - Hotels Near Me - Whistler, British Columbia

I did not stay at this hotel, but we had brunch at The Living Room within the hotel. It was unexpectedly wonderful! The food was so fresh and the avocado toast was so simple but somehow it was one of the best I've ever had. It was super fresh and the staff was very accommodating. Typically the toast isn't toasted and they don't do sweet potato fries early, but the staff was accommodating and that was greatly appreciated. The sweet potato fries were baked and they were addicting. The coffee was just as good! I'm a self proclaimed coffee connoisseur and I approve of their lattes! My husband and I both didn't feel heavy after eating, which is often the case when we eat out due to the processing of food. This was definitely quality food. You do seat yourself, scan the menu and order at the counter. They do bring out the food to your table and pickup your plates afterwards. The food also came out pretty quickly! 10/10 will be returning!!! read more

For starters. If you're worried about staying here because you think it's like a backpackers hostel with a bunch of people in their early 20's don't be. This place is such a mixed bag. I love it. I just finished having drinks with a guy who had to be at least 40yrs old and his dad. It was great. Now with that out of the way here's my review. You can't come here expecting it too be a hotel; not even a standard lower end hotel like a Best Western or Travel Lodge. And I feel like that's why some people gave it a bad review. This place is different. It's not quite hostel, not quite hotel. But for $54 a night, you can't beat it. It's literally in the centre of the village. The area right by Araxi and Starbucks and all that. The pods are spacious, clean, and have everything that I need (power outlet, comfortable bed, fan, privacy). Too me, that's all you really need when you're in Whistler. You really shouldn't want to spend most of your trip indoor in such a nice town. Also, for you drinkers out there it has all day happy hour for guests and a DJ that plays from day to night. What I like most about this place is the chance of meeting people. You don't get that at a hotel and I feel like one of the best parts about travelling is meeting others. Would I stay here again? If I'm coming with friends I would. read more

It's Valentine's Day and everywhere is booked except the Living Room at Pangea. I quickly glance through some brief photos others have posted and decided to try it since we were pretty much out of luck for a sit down restaurant. Well it's located inside the Pangea Pod Hotel which looks pretty cool, like an upscale hostel, it's bustling with international visitors and music is pumping from the lounge area, which by the way is also the restaurant. When you walk into the restaurant space it feels like a bar with lights in the ceiling and colourful accents everywhere and windows all around gives every seat in the space a window view. It has an upbeat cool vibe to it and the waiter we had was very friendly and helpful. We ordered the warm spinach salad with roasted eggplant and butternut squash as well as a gluten free flatbread with prosciutto and arugula. Both items came within 10-15 min of arriving! The salad was fantastic as was the flatbread. They have the best gluten free flatbread Ive ever had, not tough or dry or chewy or cardboard like! Ingredients are fresh and well done. If you ever have a hankering for a quick bite and hand crafted cocktails in a casual but 'Euro' funky ambiance, come here, it's also reasonably priced! These two items were just perfect for two people to share. If you're really hungry, order another flatbread! read more

This hotel was a wonderful experience! I was only here for one night but I was extremely happy with everything. The pod had a bed that was equivalent to the size of a queen size bed. Inside the pod, you have an outlet to charge your electronics and a ventilation fan. Outside of the pod, there is a separate shower, toilet and a mini vanity room. Price- It's reasonable considering how good the location is and how clean the facility is. Prices do fluctuate depending on dates for example one night might be $10-20 more than another (that seems to be the difference between weekend and weekday) Location-5/5 It is the perfect location because it is in the Whistler Village and when you walk down, there are a lot of stores. You're about a 5-10mins walk to the bus stop! This bus area is for public transit and where you're dropped off if you took Epic-rides! Service-5/5 The staff was extremely nice to me. I mostly interacted with Alvin! When I told him about my foot injury, he tried his best to make my stay as comfortable as possible which I really appreciated. He was also happy to answer any questions/concerns I had! Thank you Alvin for everything! Cleanliness-5/5 it was so clean! I didn't see a speck of dust and I'm someone that likes to look carefully at window frames, room corners and I also have a tendency to wipe surfaces before I put my stuff on it. My pod passed my cleanliness test! Wifi- 5/5 no password. It is very quick and stays connected Advice: It gets very cold at night and there isn't enough to cover yourself so make sure you ask reception for a duvet! Bring a lock for your luggage because the pods are covered by a curtain and for extra protection to make sure others can't open your luggage (gives you a piece of mind). There is a small storage that closes in your pod but space is very small (like the size of McDonald's takeout bag). Con: The ventilation fan is extremely loud so you might have to go to reception for complimentary ear plugs or turn off the fan. There is no elevator so going up to your room or reception can be challenging. I had a hard time going up the stairs to reception at 2nd floor because I could barely walk so if you have mobility issues, staying at this hotel will be extremely extremely challenging! Recommend? Yes because staying in a pod is such an interesting experience plus this hotel is close to everything! Make sure to compare the prices on the hotel's official website and on other booking sites! read more

Pangea is not a hotel but not yet a hostel. My first thoughts about this labelling was 'why?' If they'd labeled themselves as a hostel they would really be the best hostel around. If you try to look at it through an elevated lens past the accommodation of your typical hostel that's when you start to see some kinks. Overall our time at Pangea was exceptional for a place that really at the price you'd think it would be worth only a bed, but the accommodations are nice enough that hanging around the common areas is actually very pleasant. We'd come back! PROS: Friendly and helpful staff A patio space is available to spend time outside and they serve you drinks there Super cheap and delicious food options Super cheap and diverse drink menu Cozy mattress. Our pod felt nice and spacious despite being very small. We had the side entrance pod which is slightly larger than other pods - good prices for central in the Village even in peak season - extremely clean. Very impressive - Multiple single stall bathrooms!! Great for privacy - Nice and quiet because they've split up the pods into 'areas/dorms'. I hardly heard a peep other than the door being super heavy when people went in and out. - Despite the cafe turning into a bar at night when you go up to your room you don't hear a thing - Great communication with guests via text message notifying you of the specials of the day. You can also text staff for any house keeping or toiletries and they will bring them to you CONS: No microwave or fridge. Not even a kitchenette. This really limits your food options because you cannot store anything to eat. Room/pods is inaccessible from 1pm-4pm. Sucked coming back from a day at the spa to not be able to get a change of clothing. You need to plan ahead for this. Very minimal storage space for your belongings inside the pod. Most of our stuff was placed beside our bed rather than the offered storage locker, which would most likely be used for only money pouch and passport Pangea does not offer lock rentals for their lockers Their chef was away so we were not able to order any lunch options, they seemed short staffed which is a problem plaguing all of Whistler right now. It gets a bit stuffy in the pod at night, but nothing too bad read more

This is honestly one of the cutest hostels I've been to. Got a complimentary drink and also enjoyed breakfast! Pods were clean and cute, it's definitely a younger crowd atmosphere. I would stay here again. It's in the center of everything within walking distance. Worth the price as well. read more

This review is for the Living Room @ Pangea Pod. We had a pretty decent breakfast at the Living Room at Pangea. Super cool vibe up there and the food was fast and the staff was great. Definitely would go back next time for drinks! read more

Terrible customer service. We booked 2 nights back in August 2018 right at the hotel while we were camping in whistler. We thought we wouod do some skiing in december 2018. We were so excited to stay there and was never told it was non-refundable. We can't stay there now because other plans have come up and went to cancel giving them over 10 days notice and they told us it was not refundable because we booked online which we didn't. WE booked it right in their lobby woth the help of their staff We are still fighting to get our $700 back. Terrible way to do business and no excuse not to provide a refund. Be aware if you book there to get their policies in writing because they don't tell you anything AND never provided a confirmation. To top it off they made us feel.like we were not be honest with them? read more

I have stayed at pangea pod hotel 4 to 5 times over last year or so. Location is perfect few minutes walk to Gondola. There lots of storage for bike, snowboards ski in seperate area called toy bix. Pods are decent size , enough to get in and out and for good sleep . Anything you need front desk is able to assist - if it's earplugs or hair dryer . Best part of the pod is the living room where you can mingle with fellow travelers , while having drinks from the bar. As a added bonus guest get all day happy hour . Alvin and his team does a great job making sure everyone has best time possible . They treat not only as guest but part of family . I highly recommend pod if you like fun atmosphere and enjoying meeting new people. read more

I stayed at the Pangea Pod Hotel for four nights. I had such a great experience! The pod itself is cozy but had tons of room for myself and my things. The location cannot be beat as it is right in the centre of the village! There was always something happening in the Living Room and I met tons of cool people. The staff were super friendly and helpful (shoutout to Steff for helping me store my things on my last day in Whistler!) I will definitely return to Pangea the next time I find myself in Whistler. read more

Overall a good experience. Kind of loud and tight quarters but clean and got the job done. They charge extra for a lock for your locker so be prepared for that. read more

Clean, cool, modern, friendly staff, very easy check in. Great! Until you get to your room at night, which is a dorm that will sleep about 20-30 people, the door is banging closed all night long, people treat it more like a hostel, there was a full blown rave on downstairs in the bar that we could feel the vibrations all night from our bed. I think the letter S was broken on the keyboard when they made the name because there is no difference this and a hostel, maybe there is more privacy in hostels....besides a bar downstairs. read more

You never know what to expect when staying a place where you're sharing a space with strangers but if the customer service at the hotel is good, you won't have anything to worry about - which is absolutely our experience with this hotel. Had some bunk neighbors be loud at 4am and sent a quick text to the hotel for help. They replied immediately and the situation was handled in less than 5 mins. Overall, amenities, cleanliness, ease of use, comfort, location, convenience, and look of this hotel has been amazing! We stayed in the side pod for two people. Surprisingly spacious. I was worried that we brought too much luggage with us but it all fit with room to spare. Plenty shelving, and outlets inside. Bathroom, shower room, changing room and plenty of sinks around. I never had to wait to use a thing. They really thought of everything and love that everything we need is right there, and they're always ready to help with anything with a quick text. Would 100% stay here again. read more

I really enjoyed my stay here. The first night we were assigned a pod upstairs and we ended up sweating through the night because it was too hot. But the next day I told the front desk about our situation and they kindly moved us to a cooler pod with extra storage at no cost. I was really impressed with how they handled the situation- it was an immediate solution. The girl at the front desk was such a good sport about it and because of this, I would return. I've never stayed at a hostel before and with this being my first impression, I would stay again. Pangea pod is a nice place to rest your head at night, nothing too sophisticated, just a bed and a little bit of storage. But the location is the best for the price. I'll be back soon! read more

Absolutely ridiculous cancelation policy. Due to our babysitter canceling we had to cancel our trip( not even last minute) We would of been ok with the 50% refund but since we are working parents and could only get away for one night and they also minus 1 night stay so they will fully charge us. We will never recommend nor will we bother trying to make another reservation at this place. read more

Wow! A small pod hotel - sure, if I stretch my legs out too far they'll end up in someone else's bed, but for the price, what a deal! Wait, what? It's not a good price? For the same price as any other hostel (not including parking, which is almost as much as the price of a bed), or even a shabby hotel room, you end up with about 1/25 of the space as a normal hotel or even hostel room. The best part is that you don't have to worry about having any privacy - the lack of a door ensures you're about as safe as sleeping on the street, albeit a little warmer. I looked at staying here and opted out as soon as I saw the lack of value. Sorry, but you're not a pod hotel if you're not providing an affordable place to stay for people. My understanding what that this was the point of this establishment, instead of just being a lower calibre hotel room taking advantage of people. A waste of a concept, not to mention real estate. Good luck. read more

Great brunch place!its open till 1 pm for brunch which is great. Bennies and waffles are the best here. Servers are very polite, friendly and go an extra mile. Nice view from glass windows there of the village. read more

We visited their restaurant and it was a good location for ppl watching from table by the window. Terrible waiter service, however, ignoring our table and delivering food/drinks super slowly. At the end it was uncomfortable surprise that they changed 17% tip in the bill even though it was just two of us visited the restaurant. Bad customer service. read more
